TOPIC: USER TYPES IN SAP

Dialog user
Individual system access (personalized)

• Expired or initial passwords are checked.
• Users have the option of changing their own passwords.
• Multiple logon is checked.
Usage: For individual human users (also Internet users)

System user

• Logon with SAPGUI is not possible. The user is therefore not interaction-capable with the
SAPGUI.
• The passwords are not subject to to the password change requirement, that is, they cannot
be initial or expired.
• Only an administrator user can change the password.
• Multiple logon is permitted.
Usage: Internal RFC, background processing, external RFC (for example, ALE, workflow,
TMS, CUA)

Communication user
Individual system access (personalized)

• Logon with SAPGUI is not possible. The user is therefore not interaction-capable with the
SAPGUI.
• Expired or initial passwords are checked but the conversion of the password change
requirement that applies in principle to all users depends on the caller (interactive/not
interactive). (*)
• Users have the option of changing their own passwords.
Usage: external RFC (individual human users)

Service user
Shared system access (anonymous)

• Logon with SAPGUI is possible. The user is therefore interaction-capable with the SAPGUI.
• The passwords are not subject to the password change requirement, that is, they cannot be
initial or expired.
• Only a user administrator can change the password.
• Multiple logon is permitted.
Usage: Anonymous system access (for example, public Web services)

Reference user
Authorization enhancement

• No logon possible.

Reference users are used for authorization assignment to other users.


Usage: Internet users with identical authorizations
